Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size Wise

Need to feed a hungry family of six? This tasty main dish can be on the table in a matter of minutes!

Use Your Stove

Brown meat with peppers and onions in large skillet; drain and return to skillet. Stir in taco mix, water, potatoes and corn; cover. Cook 5 to 7 min. or until potatoes are tender. Stir in VELVEETA; cook, uncovered, until VELVEETA is melted and mixture is well blended, stirring occasionally.

Food Facts

Frozen hash browns come in 2 shapes - small cubes which are called Southern-style hash browns, and shredded which are called country-style hash browns. Be sure to use the cubed Southern-style in this recipe.

It was OK. My kids loved it. The adults...not so much. I think I would have been better off cutting out the velveeta and using cream of mushroom soup and real cheese. I can judge a recipe by whether or not I have leftovers. This one had plenty of leftovers. Won't be making this again.

I used Potatoes O'Brien with the onions and green peppers already in there so I skipped that step. For me, the potatoes cooked fast and dinner was a BIG hit. Even better the next day for lunch!

My family enjoyed this recipe. I substituted "salsa con queso" for the Velveeta cheese to give it more zing, and some members of the family topped their servings with sour cream. I will note that it does take longer to cook than 5-7 minutes to cook the potatoes. It took closer to 15-20 minutes.

This recipe was alright. It takes longer than 30 minutes to cook, to cook the potatos all the way thru. I have made a tex-mex recipe before that included stewed tomatos, kidney beans, and shredded colby cheese and found it much more flavorful. The potatos in this recipe taste bland and I prefer shredded colby over Velveeta. And we always add sour cream.
